About

QSR is a Kitchen Display System that we can integrate with in order to retrieve tables' orders to back-of-house displays and manage their progress from the time they're ordered at Tills until their completed and beyond
There are a number of system configurations that need to be completed including Database settings, Venue Maintenance, Workstation Maintenance, optional Product Maintenance, and optional Till Function Buttons,
Along with the QSR ConnectSmart KitchenServer running, the Bepoz SmartController must also be running
Additionally, the Bepoz application called KDSLink needs to be configured

Prerequisites

Minimum Bepoz version of 4.6 is required for this functionality
To access KDS features and configuration options in BackOffice, the following Operator Privileges will need to be enabled

Operator Maintenance 'General' Tab

System Setup: "Access Venue, Stores & Tills" Flag
System Setup: "Maintain Venue, Stores & Tills" Flag
System Setup: "Maintain Till Function Maps" Flag

Operator Maintenance 'Maintenance' Tab

Products: "View Products" Flag
Products: "Edit Products" Flag

There are also a handful of QSR applications that must be configured and/or running for this integration to work

The majority of these should be on a computer in the back-of-house, manager's office, or similar secure location
Conversely, the Display Client will need to be running on any prep, line, expo, etc. screens that make up the full KDS

Key Features

QSR Applications

There is a program called ConnectSmart KitchenServer which must be running so that the Bepoz KDSLink application can connect to the Server

If this isn't running, the KDSLink application will be unable to connect to the QSR Server and the System will not function

There is another application called ConnectSmart Kitchen Builder Pro which is used for all of the QSR KDS configurations including Kitchen Settings and View Settings

Routing Categories and Routing Schemes set up in Kitchen Builder Pro will determine which Products appear on which KDS screens
There are dozens of other settings in Kitchen Builder Pro that can be used to style and set up the system's Display Clients

Lastly, an application called QSR Display Client will need to be configured using the ConnectSmart Kitchen Builder Pro

This is the actual application that Operators will interact with and will use in the kitchen
The Display Client will show Products that have been ordered through SmartPOS and can then be tracked and bumped

System Setups

There is a separate Bepoz application called KDSLink which can be found in the Bepoz Programs directory (C:\Bepoz\Programs) and needs to be configured similar to how CALink is setup for Account Links
Within Database.exe, there is a flag on the "Set Registry Settings" tab called "Start KDSLink" which must be enabled
In BackOffice, there are a number of settings that will then need to be configured including the following:

"KDSLink - Kitchen Display" settings on the "External Links" tab of Venue Maintenance
Workstations that will be integrating will need to have the "Use KDSLink" flag enabled
Optionally, Product Preparation Times can be configured for each Product
Lastly, there are two (2) optional Till Functions -

"Rush Item" can be used to mark a particular product on KDS screens to be "fast-tracked"
"Item Trait" can be used to set a Product as "trait" on or off
